The increase of more than 30 percent stands as an oustanding figure in comparison with the national, average increase in production of commercial coal mines of 13 per cent in the same time. Utahs problem in- coal production is peculiarly intensified by the facts that at. the same time the demands for Beehive State coal have been growing by leaps and bounds, the domestic demand has been increasing just about as fast With the rapid growth of the state as a strategic and war industry center, thousands of new families have come in. adding, tremendously to the amount, of coal needed for home consumption.
